Radiator Flush

Radiator Flush
I plan to flush the radiator this weekend
When I brought the bike last year, there was no coolant, just water
I want to dump the water, flush out the system and refill with coolant (50/50)
I figure that I would remove the fairing, disconnect the water hose on the lower left of the bike and flush though the radiator cap. Any subjections before I start.

RE: Radiator Flush
Winters are not as cold here, as there, I expect, So the bike gets used year through
In Queesnsland, Australia, winters are cool, summers are Hot (What's Snow?)
My temp gauge always sits about ¼ until I have to stop for lights or traffic, then it gets hot and usually the Fan kick in.
I also want to run coolant to protect the engine from corrosion

RE: Radiator Flush
Hey:
The water wetter product does help against corrossion and build up, it also runs 10-20 degrees cooler than 50/50 mix anti freeze
and should have a simular product base in OZ, it is a bottle to a couple of gallons of water and is the answer to hot wx. I started using
it in the desert and was the only thing that worked in that heat besides removng the thermostat core and spring, and putting on/off switch
inline on the fan. it never overheated/got hot even though I did.
